They lie about the costs, the 39.99 package arrives on cc statement as 46.99. They lie about the templates, not very configurable AT ALL! You end up with stuff on the members log in page that is totally irrelevant and unchangeable, as an example, and i have many, many more. Never ever got through to help line it rings out. The 123reg support site is useless, loads of stuff on there.. none of it relevant for sorting problems. email forwarding doesnt work, and from hunting around the blogs never has. Sometimes impossible to upload new content and they deny any problems whatsoever if you can get an email back from them. Normally weeks later, if at all. Tried emailing Pipex they basically told me to get lost not their problem. I could go on all night about the hell of the last 3 months. Do yourself a favour and dont even consider them. I will definately advise anyone whoever asks me about hosting to AVOID 123 REG and go with someone else like I am about to do. The WORST SERVICE of any business I have EVER come across. Even the Labour Party could probably do a better job running it and thats saying something!

I registered my domain as, http://www.softeye.co.uk in late 2006 but had trouble trying to work out how to use the blooim FTP thing. I left my domain hosting alone for about 1 year & coming late 2007 I tried again, didn’t go well. So its 2008 & I’m currently sitting around waiting for 123-reg to reply to one of my so called,’Support threads’! I am considering contacting watchdog about these people!! I think i’ve just found that they have lost my payment details for my hosting package that I bought orginally!

I have had domain names for over 5 years with them and everything went like clockwork until 4 domain names were just dropped due to them not passing the cash onto then registry. The registry turns up asking about why my domain names have all expired. Well, it looks like a bumpy ride in 123-reg and best to protect all that I can in the process. 123-reg support system is the worst ever, forcing people to go through a question system barrier before actually being able to ask “Why the fu?? haven’t you paid Nominet?” – Which is clearly not an available option….
